Are brain-controlled video games the next big thing?
GameCorner
The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center was recently awarded over $8 million by the National Institutes of Health for their team's experiments into brain-computer interfaces (BCI). BCI's involve transistor-like chips, known as multi-electrode arrays, that are placed into a patient's brain to track neurons that can be used to control electronic components. One of the biggest successes the ... ...more

Humans Could All Be Eaten By Spiders In Just A Year
Amazing Facts
A study has shown that spiders actually eat what is equivalent to 440 million and 880 million tons every year collectively, which is just about as much as all humans collectively weigh. The mass of humans across the glove comes out to approximately only 287 million tonnes. The study that proves that was conducted by professors Martin Nyffeler & Klaus Birkhofer, identifying 45,000 species of ... ...more

Bored? Try Extracting Onion DNA!
EnglishMajorLeagues
In middle school, I needed a science project, and I was bored by the typical baking soda volcanoes and planetary models. A few hours of googling turned up projects that I didn't have the equipment to try. But it so happened that one evening, I was asked to chop some onions, and we had quite a number of them in the fridge. Since we had so many onions, I thought I might use them for my project. ... ...more
